Recommended replacement for an Ideal ISAR HE24?

[AdamPD]

Hi all,

So our 13 year old Ideal ISAR HE24 has had it's 20th+ repair under a boiler insurance system we set up as soon as the warranty ran out.
It's had no end of problems (I know of them from reading various reports when ours started going wrong!)
We've just had yet another part replaced (the radiators were getting hot when the hot water was being requested) and the engineer guy said the boiler needs replacing, as it has rust problems.

We, of course, got the original boiler and radiators through the warm home/grant system and even though the boiler is 13 years old and bordering on uneconomical to repair, we can't get another free one through any grant that I can find, or any discounted boiler either

So I was wondering, what would you recommend in terms of a replacement?
Ideally I'd like to run a shower off a new boiler at some point, and we do have a bath (3 bedroom semi bungalow)
So I'm thinking I need a 28-32Kw boiler so we get better hot water performance. (I think the HE24 is 24kw?)

We were quoted £2495 (Inc VAT) to have a Worcester Bosch 32CDI fitted, including a 10 year warranty, but I've done a quick search here and apparently those aren't recommended?

They seemed the boiler of choice for the grant jobs (Cheep) you have a large choice That price seems quite good but could be other things that may need doing, if money is tight Vokera do a basic 29Kw model with 5 year warranty, Ideal Logic up to 10 years, Ariston are even offering 12 years, do some more research and get more quotes you will find different installers favour different boilers we all have favourites.

Viessmann 050 for me . But as JTS says we all have our favourites.

Would go for the 100 much better

Tell us your budget and we can advise.
Most important is it's fitted well. An expensive boiler thrown at the wall, no flushing, no filter, limescale fighter, chemicals etc etc will have problems.

Yes agree 100% but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the 050’s . 7 years warrenty out of the box , but you have to buy the 100 warrenty now .

Still get the standard 5 with the 100 tho unless they have changed?
